I have written several times about Google Voice, a great service that
provides free phone calls to North American numbers and also combines all
your telephones (home, office, cellular, etc.) into one phone number. You
can read my past articles at http://goo.gl/maRqF. Starting today, Google
Voice now offers number porting: you can transfer an existing telephone
number to Google Voice for a $20 fee. Now you can use all of Google Voice's
features without having to give up your long-time phone numbers.
